Drum and bass star Goldie is backing the RHS campaign to get kids outside gardening this summer. Goldie will be at the hottest gardening event for children, the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, on Monday 6 July (Press Day).

For the first time kids go free* at Hampton, where there is a plethora of gardens and fun to get children growing plants. In August the four RHS Gardens will open their doors to kids for free and special events will take place over the summer**.
Goldie, who will meet some of the children involved with the show, said: “Getting kids off the sofa, away from the TV and outside gardening is a great initiative. As well as the satisfaction that comes from growing plants, the well being and exercise benefits are immense. Whilst kids are enjoying getting their hands dirty, they are also learning where food comes from and about wildlife and nature.”
On Monday 6 July over 1,000 pupils will visit Hampton press day to deliver 33 Tudor themed scarecrows, which have been made by schools across the South East.
